Memaw's Chocolate Caramel Layer Squares

14 oz. pkg Kraft caramels, unwrapped
2/3 c. evaporated milk, divided
18 1/2 oz. box German chocolate or devil's food cake mix
6 oz. pkg. semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. soft margarine
1 c. chopped nuts, optional

Combine caramels and 1/3 c. evaporated milk in double boiler. Stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat and set aside. Combine all remaining ingredients, except chocolate chips & nuts. Press half into sprayed 9x13 pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over crust. Pour caramel mixture over top. Crumble remaining cake mixture over caramel. Top with nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Cool 30 minutes before cutting into small squares.

*spraying the pan with butter flavor spray before melting the caramels makes for quicker clean up and doesn't effect the recipe.
